The Critics Say:

Josephine Jacobsen, award-winning poet and short story writer: "Extraordinary...short stories." "Poetry" with "a depth of emotion and simultaneous control" and "a haunting quality that will linger in the mind."

Dr, Martin Tucker, Editor, Confrontation:"The surface lives of her characters are ordered and orderly, but the constant transience of their fears refuses isolation in convenient corners of the mind."

Alison Comey, The Baltimore Sun: "The Stevens style...is vivid, unsettling, spectacularly effective."

Mark Moran, Gargoyle: "Stories...about the things we know, but rarely have the courage to explore: death, memory, success and failure."

Dr, Nancy Norris, Johns Hopkins University: Stevens "probes the possibilities and realities of violence just beneath the surface of common cordialities" with "a rich and sophisticated language."
